Setting "Use a proxy server..." via script

Hi,

I regularly need to switch on and off the checkbox labeled "Use a proxy
server for your LAN (These settings...)." residing in || Internet
Options -> Connections Tab -> Lan Settings... Proxy server ||

Is there a way to have a vbs script or a shell command do this for me
so that I only need to click on an icon to run that script/command? One
script to turn the proxy server usage on and another one to turn it
off.

Always needing to click through the dialogs is very time consuming.

Thanks in advance.

I use a .reg file that sets this:

"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000000
or
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
